No kiosk, just the place where it has been.
When the kiosk on the St Kilda Pier was burnt down in September 2003, the landscape changed and I didn’t properly understand the landmark until it was gone. It’s only now I realise that seeing the kiosk in the same place gave me a sense of certainty in the world. Even the day my car radio told me about 2 planes hitting the Twin Towers, as I passed, Kirby’s Kiosk was still there, as always.
They are going to rebuild the kiosk but it won’t be the same. In the meantime part of the pier has been preserved because artist Julie Gough collected charcoal to do some drawing.

Found: one ex-mayor of St Kilda (1984) to protest about a monument to Indigenous Elders
Article: The Age Sunday 8th May
“Crate idea leaves sour taste as monument is milked”
Bronze milk crates that will be installed in a St Kilda Park as a dedication to Aboriginal elders who used to gather there with other Kooris have been branded inppropriate by a former mayor. “I do not think they will fit in,” said Colin Bell. “We’ve got a pack of weirdos on this council”…………..
Shiels came up with the idea while sitting in the park with Aunty Alma, who died in 2003, aged 61. “I said to her, ‘These are good seats’. She said to me, ‘yeah but you have to hunt for them’.” said Shiels.
The bronze crates were an anti-monument, she said. “They’re taking the piss out of the whitefella statues of important men that dot out parks.”
